[laughter] but there was nothing. and the fact is, he managed to get conservatives enough in his camp that he could make a pivot endorsing most of obama's foreign policy and doing things like that without losing that base which is really quite striking. and whether he can continue that move is going to be interesting. just two other comments, one on ohio. obama has opened up more field offices in ohio than starbucks has outlets, which is really astonishing.

but what they did, look at the presidential debates. governor perry, my governor, who had lots of problems but was for the dream act and was for a reasonable position on immigration, and romney moved to his right, and perry had other problems, too, but certainly his more progressive views on immigration hurt him inside the republican party. and now some of the republicans are threatening to sue the president about his decision on the dream act. my attitude is bring it on, let 'em sue. i think that's wonderful. it'll just drive the point home that the republicans are on the wrong side on an issue that is widely popular inside the hispanic community. now, did the president push hard enough early on? you can debate that. the house, democratic house did pass the dream act. it was filibustered by republicans in the senate. but i think what -- all the body language that the republicans send to the hispanic community, all that has been wrong, and they have, they have blown the opportunities because hispanic voters are cull churlly conservative

there is apportioned at has been undecided but since the first presidential debate romney has done better and it is a group i think democrats are worried about. if you look down women now are critical democrats hope that works to their advantage they recruited a lot of women candidates for their hoping to increase democratic women in the senate this year. >> is critical in the house but which will amend the? might argue there is no women approach. married women? single women? independent minority? there are huge disparities just as there are with different denominations. what you need to watch it is a white voters without a college education. . .

mitt romney gave a solid performance. you look in 1994 he was a strong debater. he rescued his candidacy in 201. we knew this was going to be a strength of governor romney and particularly after the 47% debocle just showing up on the stage and not drooling he was going to come out strengened. he was polling in some battleground states at 42, 43, 44. an impossibility. mitt romney was going to get 67, 68, 69 in states like virginia, ohio and florida. we knew he was going to come out of the debate with some strength. we were not going to win the first debate. he was the only person on stage to have something to gain out of the first debate. we had a poor performance and he had a strong one. we said this publicly and most people didn't believe us at the time. the race did not fundamentally change. our support level stayed relatively constant. all that happened it was gains that he would have made over october. he gained it all of a sudden. he accelerated those gains. it excited the republican base and helped them raise money. we wouldn't have designed it this way but

let's debate the issues before us. we'll get to the tax issues. we'll be able to talk more in placed on theernor romney's calendar. mr. reid: thank you, madam president. over the last few years, americans that are very, very wealthy have taken home the greatest share of the nation's income since the 1920's. that's 90 years, madam president. a larger percentage of what's out there, the rich are getting it. the rich are getting richer and the poor are being squeezed, the middle class is being squeezed, but the rich are doing really well. while the bank accounts of a few fortunate americans have grown, their tax bills have not. the wealthiest americans now pay the lowest tax rates in more than 50 years. while this generous tax code has been good for their bottom lines, it hasn't been good for americans' bottom lines. hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts, some say more than a trillion dollars, have been handed out disproportionately to the rich by the previous administration, and this has fueled skyrocketing deficits and a growing national debt
